Lawless-Langevin Debate: Lawless will fight hard on behalf of working families

Jen demonstrates clear policy differences on Iraq, choice, privacy, and notes that Langevin is out of sync with his constituents.

Wednesday night’s debate between Jennifer Lawless and James Langevin is proof that Langevin is out of sync with the issues that matter most to Rhode Islanders in the 2nd Congressional District. Lawless cut right to the point, challenging Langevin’s dismal record in his six years in Congress. Langevin has supported President Bush’s “stay-the-course” strategy in Iraq, has voted 27 times against a women’s right to choose, has voted in favor of the Patriot Act, and has failed to lead the fight against Republicans in Congress. Jennifer Lawless made it clear to voters that she will take on the Bush administration, bring our troops home from Iraq, fight for a women’s right to choose, and protect our right to privacy.

Throughout the debate, Jennifer Lawless made it clear that she represents the true values of Rhode Island families. She closed the discussion with the following zinger, “If you believe in Democratic values, in change and in holding the Bush administration accountable, then the choice is clear and I would appreciate your vote.”

What did YOU think?

Wow

Wow. Jen was amazing in both debates. In the PBS debate last week, she absolutely crushed Langevin, and in the Channel 10 debate, she nailed him with a couple of terrific one-liners.

If she can beat Langevin consistently in th debates and she's actually in sync with Rhode Islanders, Jennifer Lawless is the right candidate for Rhode Island's Second District.

I have also have enjoyed meeting Jen, which is just another reason why she has my vote.
